PRAYING FOR OUR NEW PASTOR


The teal colored prayer band I wear on my left wrist comes into my line of sight throughout the day.  I can easily ignore it, letting it become an ornament of intention, or I can pause and lift a prayer to the Lord that he will work through the Search Committee to lead them to the man He has appointed for us.  I want to stay committed to pray.

Mark Davis chairs our Search Committee.  Along with Joe Smith, Liz Rao, Amy Lane, Todd Kocher and Jerry Dendinger, they have worked hard and prayed hard.  They understand the responsibility assigned to them and truly value and depend on our prayers.  Below is an update from Mark.

The Pastoral Search Committee has completed the review of over 220 resumes over the past four months. Having completed the in depth analysis of twenty of these resumes, we have identified three candidates that we are planning to interview during the month of February.  At the conclusion of these interviews the Search Committee will once again update the congregation of Centerville Community Church. 

These are exciting days as we begin to prepare for a new lead pastor.  Please continue to pray for our Search Committee that God will give them wisdom and discernment as they prepare for and undertake these interviews.  May God give unity of spirit in the decisions made regarding the candidates.  February is a very important month.  Let’s continue in joyful and expectant prayer.
